Idaho Gov. Brad Little has ordered that flags in the state fly at half-staff to honor the firefighters killed in the ambush on Sunday.
Two firefighters were killed and one was injured after responding to a brush fire on Canfield Mountain, which authorities believe was intentionally set by a suspect who then opened fire on responding firefighters.
“The entire State of Idaho grieves the profound loss of the firefighters killed in the shocking ambush,” the governor said in a statement. “Please join Teresa and me as we continue to pray for the victims and their loved ones.”
The injured firefighter was out of surgery and in stable condition as of Sunday night, according to Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris.
